US says troops will remain in Afghanistan until at least end 2014

Suddenly dropping the 2011 withdrawal date, which has become "the beginning of a transition," Gates, Clinton and Mullen say that US troops will remain in Afghanistan "at least to the end of 2014." The White House says this is not a change in policy.

Does this change in policy have any relation to the recent Republican election gains?
